But today Kate Sylvester herself confirmed the decision not to show – explaining that all of the company’s energies are currently focussed on growth in the Australian market. Sylvester opened her first Australian store on Sydney’s Oxford Street in December 2009, and is currently on the

Derya Parlak working it in Juliette Hogan at the New Zealand Fashion Festival New Zealand Fashion Week‘s sister event – the consumer-targeted New Zealand Fashion Festival – took place for the first time on Tuesday this week.
